Due to this unusual hobby, which may soon appear in the hit TV show, the Bake Off contestant has over 400k TikTok followers.

The Great British Bake Off returns to screens tonight, with a new batch of 12 contestants all ready to be introduced in the first episode. While this will be the first step into the spotlight for most of the bakers, one is already famous thanks to his peculiar hobby.

Iain Ross, 29, a Belfast baker, only started baking in his early 20s, but has already amassed over 400k TikTok followers. Iain uses edible foot coloring to paint musicians’ faces and album covers onto his baked goods in his videos, which have received millions of likes.

Taylor Swift, Queen, Oasis and more have all been painted on to a variety of baked goods, but most commonly bread. “It’s a really fun hobby to have a clash of worlds,” Iain told BBC Radio Ulster. “I have my baking and my love of music so I try to marry the two together the best I can.”

After he posted the news that he was joining the next series of Bake Off to his Instagram and TikTok, Iain’s fans flocked to the comments to share their excitement. One wrote: “This is so epic, I’ve been following you for so long, congrats!”

Another person praised Bake Off’s “best music taste ever, and you’re amazing at baking.” Iain was also requested to provide his distinctive artistic decoration for the performance.

Iain will probably make it to Bread Week, but the teaser for the first episode reveals a struggle for the Irish baker. Iain is attempting to repair his tent’s broken cake in the “first look.”

He is reportedly heard saying, “Oh God! ! ! ” while eating his chocolate cake. Oh no ! It has simply disintegrated. In an effort to put the cake back together, he is shown how to scrape bits from the tray.

The presenter made fun of the footage when it first appeared on Lorraine Kelly’s talk show and that it hasn’t been a good year for the baker.

Iain himself has described his time on the show as “chaotic”, telling the BBC that he thinks it will make good TV.

He said, “The word that comes to mind is chaotic.” “I have a lot of plates spinning at a lot of times, and I think it’ll make for good viewing, but I’m not very good with multiple plates spinning,” he said.

Iain and his fans may have had a hard time figuring out how to do it in tonight’s episode. Paul Hollywood quotes cake that “looks like it fell out of a tree,” and wonky cakes, over-baking, and other things in the Cake Week teaser.

Before the show began, Bake Off host Alison Hammond asked viewers to be supportive of the bakers, as it can be difficult when bakes go wrong. In a video message, she told fans: “It’s a magical experience they’ll never forget. What you don’t see at home are all the hours of hard work they put in behind-the-scenes.”

“So, it can really hit hard when something goes wrong in the tent.” They are all genuine people who love baking and make an effort to please everyone. So, please keep in mind that while sleeping on a couch at home, it may seem simple.

Tonight at 8 p.m. on Channel 4 will be The Great British Bake Off.

The eldest of Noel’s three children, Anaisa, described how she tried TV presenting and secured a role on a CBBC show before having her first encounter with “nepo-baby-ism.”

Noel Gallagher’s daughter has disclosed the “harsh” comments she received from a BBC producer after securing a television role. In a recent chat, photographer and model Anaïs Gallagher, the oldest of Noel’s three offspring (along with Sonny and Donovan Gallagher), revealed how being the daughter of a music icon has affected her career.

When she began working, Anaïs revealed that she tried her hand at TV presenting and even secured a spot on a CBBC programme. However, she would quickly face her initial encounter with what was described as “nepo-baby-ism”.

The term ‘nepo baby’ (short for ‘nepotism baby’) refers to a person who has personally benefited from the success and station of their parents, whether they are powerful or famous.

“I was 12 or 13,” Anas told Grazia magazine. The show’s producer said, “You have to be really good, you can’t mess up,” before I went on. People will say that you were only on the show because of your father, “”

Anas’ apparent innocence as Noel’s daughter suggests otherwise. She continued, “I believe it was fair. It was harsh but entirely accurate. She continued to say that she was “massively in denial” and “pushed against it” at first when she touched on the subject.

Nevertheless, after attending Camberwell College of Arts to pursue art photography, Anaïs went on to confess that she became “really embarrassed” about her “privilege” and chose not to reveal her father’s identity.

Yet, her stance on the matter has mellowed now. Indeed, Anaïs admitted that she’s “not delusional” and is aware that Noel has aided her “immensely”, divulging that she never had to get a part-time job in her younger years.

She continued to say that her father would buy her a new camera if she ever needed one. She also expressed her gratitude.

She even went so far as to describe him as a “cool dad” before making up her views on him with some of the people’s parents, who she might consider to be “a horrible Tory politician or something.”

Noel and Meg Mathews, the couple’s biological child, and Anas was born in 2000. They split up in 2001.

As part of her modelling career, she has worked with Reebok, H&M, Dolce & Gabbana and Accessorize.

Meanwhile, her formal education in photography has been put to good use, as she’s spent time documenting her dad’s tour with his side-project band, the High Flying Birds, and has reportedly shot behind-the-scenes on film sets.

Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith will be back on the show tonight, judging the bakers, but why did Dame Mary Berry leave?

The Great British Bake Off returns to Channel 4 tonight – with Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith back in the tent judging the bakers alongside hosts Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding.

It’s been eight years since the show moved over to BBC and beloved judge Dame Mary Berry stepped down – but why did she decide to quit? Well, it was announced in 2016 that the show would be moving over to Channel 4, after the show’s production company, Love Productions, sold the broadcasting rights.

It wasn’t just Berry who decided to stay with the BBC. Hosts Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins also made the decision to stay – although Paul Hollywood, who starred alongside them at the time made the decision to move over to Channel 4.

According to Mary, “I’m choosing to stay with the BBC because they have nurtured me and the show, which was a unique and brilliant format from day one,” she said in a statement.

What a privilege and honor it was to participate in seven years of magic inside a tent. I hope the audience understands my decision because I’m just sad for the audience, who might not be ready to change. I’m so grateful to Paul, Mel, and Sue for their joy and laughter.

Before she made the joke, “Farewell to soggy bottoms,” she said, “I wish the programme, crew, and future bakers every possible success and I’m so sad not to be a part of it”!

But does the star still watch the show? Well the answer is no, she previously told the Mirror.

Speaking about This Morning star Alison Hammond being announced as co-presenter in 2023, the 90-year-old said: “I hope she’s very good. They’ve had a good swap round since I left. But they’re all good, they bring a different way of life to Bake Off.”

However, Mary acknowledged that she wouldn’t be watching the show because she continued, “I don’t actually watch Bake Off; you can imagine that because we don’t watch much cooking on television.

12 new bakers will debut at 8 p.m., and Paul Hollywood anticipates handing out many handshakes.

The baking standard is still the same, but since series one, he said, has improved consistently.

The bakers in series one were of their time, but the baking has improved, not to say that. The difficulties are a little more challenging. However, they have all risen to the occasion and produced truly incredible things.

According to legend, James Whale’s will included money for his wife Nadine Talbot-Brown. The presenter passed away in the wake of a second cancer diagnosis just four weeks ago, aged 74.

James, who is renowned for his work on TalkTV and TalkRadio, among other radio stations, passed away on August 4 in the morning of his death, it was revealed last month. Following the announcement of his death, tributes were paid to the former BBC Radio host.

He reportedly left his wife Nadine, who he married in 2021, the majority of his estate. From his first marriage to the late Melinda Maxted, who passed away in 2018, he is said to have also left money for his children Peter and James.

The High Court last week approved his estate, according to the Sun. He left an estate worth £715, 000, according to records obtained by the outlet. It’s said to have been reduced by £197, 800 after taxes, fees and debts to £517, 200.

James reportedly left his first marriage to Melinda Maxted, who passed away in 2018, tax-free to his children James and Peter. According to reports, the will also lists his burial request in it, which was signed in April of last year.

James’ death was revealed last month. James slipped away this morning, his wife told the Express on August 4. He left with a smile on his face after such a beautiful passing.

We were sad to learn that James Whale MBE, who had battled cancer for a long time, passed away earlier today, at the age of 74. James will be missed by many at TALK and the News UK family because he has been a broadcasting legend for more than 50 years.

In 2000, James was given a kidney cancer diagnosis, and he had surgery to have one of his kidneys removed. The cancer then went so far as to reveal that it had reached his last kidney, lungs, spine, and brain in 2020.

Millie Court and Liam Reardon, both of whom are lovers, are reportedly having a second breakup. The couple made a seventh episode of the 2021 dating ITV2 dating program, and they won. They briefly separated before reuniting, despite what they appeared to be saying.

The TV stars ended their relationship in 2022’s summer, but they later found each other again a year later. However, a friend’s claim that they “tried so hard to make it work makes it seem like their relationship is over.”

According to an insider, the “distance was just difficult,” so they made the decision to part ways once more. For comment, The Mirror reached out to their representatives.

Friends are hoping this might just be a blip because it’s all still very fresh, the source told The Sun. “Obviously, they’ve worked things out before.

“But they are currently separating,” they said. Everyone who is in their shoes hopes that they can resolve their conflict.

When they were contestants in the villa during season seven of Love Island, they foretold each other for the first time in 2021. After coming to terms with the fact that Liam had his head briefly turned in Casa Amor, the pair eventually won the show.

The romance continued after the couple left the villa in 2022, but they broke up. Millie stated in a statement that she and Liam wanted to let you know that their relationship had ended when they first split.

It’s been a difficult choice, and I’m devastated, but it’s ultimately what’s best for us at the moment. Thank you to each and every one of you who has helped us grow our relationship.

“I wish Liam the best of all of his efforts in everything he does,” Liam said, “nothing will ever take away from the incredible experience we shared in Love Island and the past year.”

We’re both prepared for fresh chapters, and I’m looking forward to what comes next. “Love, Millie.

After a while apart, things started to turn around and Liam recently said he planned to start a family with her.

Liam’s sister shared footage of him playing with a child in a Welsh village earlier this year. He then re-posted the content on Instagram and added a heartfelt caption reading, “@milliegracecourt I want one.”
